  • Patent number: 11989461
    Abstract: In the case of FC-NVMe (NVMe over Fabrics using Fibre Channel (FC) as a transport), zoning is typically performed using the interface WWPNs, but the masking of NVMe namespaces is performed using a host's NVMe Qualified Name (NQN or HOSTNQN). The use of two identifiers (i.e., one identifier used for zoning and another identifier used for masking) introduces a potential security related concern. A bad actor may obtain the NQN of a host that has access to sensitive information and use it to access this sensitive information. Accordingly, in one or more embodiments, by correlating different identifiers and using a combination of the different identifiers, access can easily be provided to the appropriate host adapters while prohibiting access to rogue hosts.

  • Publication number: 20240158529
    Abstract: CD38 is expressed on malignant plasma cells. CD28 is a costimulatory molecule required for T-cell activation and survival. Provided herein are novel anti-CD38 antibodies, anti-CD28 antibodies, and bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that bind to both CD38 and CD28 and act as costimulatory agents to activate T cells via binding CD80 and/or CD86. In certain embodiments, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the present invention are capable of inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing CD38. The bispecific antigen-binding molecules of the invention are useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which an upregulated or induced CD38-targeted immune response is desired and/or therapeutically beneficial. For example, the bispecific antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of various cancers, including multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and leukemia.
